    The airline also unveiled an exciting promotion campaign, “It’s time to Vietjet” offering one million promotional air tickets priced from only 0Baht. The promotion runs from September 9 to September 11, 2016 from 8pm to 10pm each day only at www.vietjetair.com.

    Speaking at the announcement ceremony today, Tourism and Sports Minister, H.E. Mrs. Kobkarn Wattanavrangkul, said, “Vietjet’s decision to invest in the future of Thai air travel with a dedicated domestic presence is a big market movement. It brings additional capacity to the low-cost flight sector in Thailand, and provides Thai people and global tourists the added benefit of greater affordable ticket choice and enhanced convenience. We have an ongoing commitment to improving bilateral relations between Thailand and Vietnam, and so this recent development gives a welcome boost to those efforts in line with the mission of TAT’s Two Countries, One Destination program, which has been running since last year.”

    “I appreciate Vietjet for allowing one of its airplanes, an Airbus A320, to be painted with an Amazing Thailand livery. This advertisement in the sky is truly a wonderful gift for Thai tourism and we accept that with much gratitude. We are excited with Vietjet’s joining Thai aviation market. As a new-age carrier, Vietjet is well known for being dynamic, friendly and lively, which is expected to bring such an new wave to Thailand’s tourism industry, thus attract more tourists from Vietnam and around the world to our country, the land of smiles,” she added.

    HOA_6205_reVietjet’s Vice President, Madam Nguyen Thi Thuy Binh, said, “Three years ago, Thailand became Vietjet’s first international destination. Thailand and Vietnam have shared a close relationship thanks to our similarities in culture, cuisine and character. There are now more than 300 Thai expats working in a variety of positions at Vietjet, which is also a driving force for us to further expand our flight network in Thailand today. We are committed to offering more air travel opportunities so Thai people can visit Vietnam and more Vietnamese people can visit Thailand’s amazing destinations in the coming time. We develop our products not just so we can offer customers a safe, enjoyable flight but so we can also offer them a complete tourism service package, which eases travel for each and every passenger from the moment they book online. I would like to thank the Thai authorities and the people of Thailand for supporting us joining this market and so we can further contribute to the development of Thailand’s tourism and trade.”
